This surgical intervention or procedure is listed in the World Health Organization's International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems or ICD-10 as code 0PQHXZZ

UNSPSC 85692962 Repair right radius, external approach (Commodity) shows limited recent alignment with state and local procurement activity. The code nominally addresses orthopedic surgical repair, yet the recent opportunities posted under this code span independent medical evaluations, pharmacy benefit management, occupational medical surveillance, and temporary health professional staffing—none of which constitute repair of a right radius or other orthopedic surgical procedures. State and local buyers appear to be using this code to tag healthcare administrative and occupational health services that fall outside its nominal scope, suggesting either a classification mismatch in the issuing systems or a broader reinterpretation of the code's application across benefit administration and medical program management.

The City of Phoenix Retirement Office (Phoenix Fire Pension Board and Phoenix Police Pension Board) posted an RFP for independent medical evaluation services with a due date of October 16, 2026 and a maximum contract value of $750,000 over five years; the Washington State Department of Transportation posted an RFP for occupational medical surveillance services due October 9, 2026; and the City of Long Beach posted an RFP for surgical benefit carve-out services due October 7, 2026. The County of Santa Clara Health System solicited temporary health professional staffing across ancillary clinical categories (responses due October 7, 2026), and Collier County issued an RFP for pharmacy benefit management services. Issuers include state agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), counties (Harris County, Santa Clara County, Collier County), and cities (Phoenix, Long Beach), distributed across Arizona, California, Florida, and Washington. Given the poor alignment between the code's nominal scope and the services actually being purchased, practitioners should verify code classification before investing significant pursuit effort.
